Summary

Soon after I retired in 2013, I took a three-month course designed to prepare doctors and other health care workers for volunteer work in underserved parts of the developing world. In addition to the lectures on tropical diseases and practical training in free clinics and emergency rooms, we spent one full day undergoing training in personal security including how best to survive a kidnapping.
